Default No front cylinder firing after installing rocker lockers

Ok I must be missing something, I have a electrical testing manual for my bike and it says the coil has primary ABC which my coil has ABCD I ohm out A to C and A to D not like the book says at .5. but the secondary tests from B to F and B to R which is 2.8 and 2.9 which the book says is open on the secondary. so I buy a new accel super coil and it tests about the same on the primary and a little higher on the secondary B to F 3.0 and B to R 3.1 so is the new one bad or am I doing something wrong I called accel when I got the new coil and asked this Question and the tech said it should be fine he didn't know what it should test out at.
by the way I took the tank off and installed the rocker lockers which went fine and installed some twisted wires and the front cylinder wont fire. put the stock wires back on and the same thing. so I tested the coil and determined it was bad. but after getting the new one with the same results, it has spark with the plugs out weaker in the front. I also have 11 volts to the injectors while cranking and the injector ohms around 10 ?

If it ran fine before the work, there must be something wrong with the work. Did you let the lifters bleed down after installing rockers? Are the rocker arms hitting the boxes?
2 possibilities--either you bent a valve by not letting the lifters bleed down or something is keeping the valves from seating. Do a compression test.

jbarr I let it bleed down, I was worried that was what had happened somehow. not a bent valve but close, apparently you have to readjust adjustable pushrods when you mess with them. its nice to get rid of that clackity clack at low RPMs with the rocker lockers!
